I am in AP European History and I need to present a power point with some events and what not. I am having a tough time with my research so anything helps!
Answer
One major event is the construction of the Berlin Wall and people killed trying to cross it during the period. You can seek more detail than this to learn:
http://history1900s.about.com/od/1960s/qt/berlinwall.htm
The Beatles music group actually had a major social impact, and you can research more on them in Europe.
In Africa the 1960s was a period of radical political change as 32 countries gained independence from their European colonial rulers.
So it was the ending of colonialism. You can research events occuring within Europe about this in the period, such as Portugese Colonial War, and Algerian War with France.

Britain and South Africa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Vatican_Council
If the Soviets are counted as Europe, and at the time it was, there were major US-Soviet conflicts such that you can include the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis that had a global impact as a fear of the end of the world and a WW3 to include all of Europe.
Assassinations:
May 27, 1963 - Grigoris Lambrakis, Greek left-wing MP by far-right extremists with connections to the police and the army in Thessaloniki
One can ask about the impact of the Kennedy assassination in Europe as a global event.
1962 â First trans-Atlantic satellite broadcast via the Telstar satellite
1963 Belgium:
The language boundaries dividing Belgium into two major monolingual parts, a Dutch speaking Flanders in the North and a French Speaking Wallonia in the South are fixed and the boundaries of the administrative sections (provinces and municipalities) are adjusted accordingly. Brussels becomes officially bilingual (French-Dutch) and six municipalities bordering the Capital belong to Flanders but obtain facilities for French-speakers.
Protests in Denmark against nuclear weapons, should have also occurred through much of Europe.
1963 Italy - Education reform:
Education reforms of the Italian school system, from elementary school to upper secondary education (gymnasium). The gymnasium and technical schools were made more accessible to the masses of Italian society. The result was an increasing rush to the universities especially among people from the middle class.
Yugoslavia: 07.04.1963 A new constitution is proclaimed. Yugoslavia is defined as a âSocialist federative republic.â The right to âself-managementâ is now universal.
Rebuilding and growth of France:

1963
France and West Germany sign treaty of cooperation ending four centuries of conflict (Jan. 22).
U.K.'s Profumo scandal (June).
Completed.

I was tasked to recommend a sound system for our gymnasium.Any Ideas as to what design and product I can use?

The design entails what speakers to use, amplifiers, sound mixers, microphones, etc. how do you interconnect these with each other?
Answer
The previous contributor is right in saying that gyms pose special challenges.
It all depends how deep you want to go.
I do not recommend the Fender at all. It will do the job, but that is about all. It is designed for mobile guitarists and such playing in small bars.
You could put wall or ceiling mount speakers throughout the hall. This means that the people near the front do not go deaf from being exposed to very high volume while those at the back think they are deaf because it's still not loud enough for them.
If you are doing just speeches, the ceiling/wall mount speakers will do fine and will minimize the echo issue.
If you are finding it hard to understand what people are saying there are special systems done by JBL, among other that have "intelligibility" processors. These are basically compressor/limiters to equalize the levels with different speakers who may not speak very well into the mike. They also use a "parametric eq effect" meaning they boost frequencies that are different between words, while cutting frequencies (mostly bass) that are present in all words.
If echo does become an issue then you need a digital delay processor. This will mean the speaker at the front will get the sound later than the ones at the rear.
FOR A DIGITAL DELAY PROCESSOR TO WORK ALL SPEAKERS MUST MUST MUST BE POINTING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
Behringer do The Shark. This will also prevent feedback and is a nifty unit. However when it does prevent feedback the sound becomes unuseable and you will need an operator to correct both the speaker's technique and reset the unit. It does not prevent feedback in a way that you can just turn it on and forget it.
The benefit is though that feedback damages speakers and humans. Feedback is a major mystery source of high frequency hearing loss. Each encounter damages the hearing only minimally, but it clocks up eventually.
If you go for lots of ceiling speakers, you will need to use 70v line (or in some countries, it's 100v line...same idea). Explanation here http://www.epanorama.net/documents/audio/70volt.html
However 70v line is not suited to music or theatre.
Hope all this helps.
